Common Perfume Concerns & Best Practices

At IKSAS Scents, we believe in helping our valued customers make the most of their fragrance experience. Here are some common concerns and practical tips to ensure optimal use and satisfaction with your perfume:

  1. Perfume Stains on Clothing
    Spraying perfume too close to your clothes—especially from a distance of less than two inches—can sometimes cause staining. To avoid this, we recommend spraying from approximately 3 to 4 inches away, depending on the atomizer's spray strength and diffusion pattern.
  2. Proper Storage Matters
    Perfumes are sensitive to light and temperature. Exposure to direct sunlight can trigger chemical changes that alter the scent. Always store your fragrance in a cool, dark place to preserve its original character and longevity.
  3. When the Fragrance Feels Too Strong
    If a scent feels overwhelming, simply reduce the number of sprays. Target less exposed areas or spray lightly on your clothing instead of your skin.
  4. When the Fragrance Feels Too Weak
    Conversely, if a perfume feels too subtle, you may increase the number of sprays, applying to pulse points or fabric for enhanced projection—while still avoiding overuse.
  5. Every Fragrance Reacts Differently on Every Individual
    Body chemistry plays a significant role in how a perfume performs. A fragrance that smells radiant on one person may develop differently on another. Factors like skin pH, diet, and even hydration can influence how a scent evolves.
  6. If Longevity or Projection Doesn’t Meet Expectations
    There are several factors to consider when evaluating performance:
    • Benchmark Realistically: Compare your scent’s performance with others.
    • Environmental Influence: Weather conditions—humidity, heat, and dryness—greatly affect how a perfume behaves.
    • Working Conditions: Indoor vs. outdoor environments, physical activity, and exposure to airflow all influence a scent’s staying power.
    • Application Technique: Expecting strong projection from just a few sprays may not be realistic. Apply according to your needs and the environment.
    • Regional Adaptation: Many perfume application tips come from Western contexts, where weather and clothing differ greatly. In warmer climates like Pakistan, we recommend applying perfume on fabric rather than directly on skin—particularly on areas less prone to sweating, such as collars (front and back), sleeves, or even inner linings.
